Applies sources on k and either epsilon or omega to prevent them droping below a specified ambient value for atmospheric boundary layer modelling. Such adjustment reportedly increases numerical stability for very stable atmospheric stability conditions, and prevents nonphysical oscillations in regions of low shear at higher altitudes.
